They Got (Video) Game; N.B.A. Finals Can Wait: Millions of young American men seem to be asking the same question. Since 2000, television broadcast ratings for almost all major sports have fallen among male viewers between 12 and 34. Even Nascar, whose ratings have generally been hailed by the industry as healthy, has suffered a modest decline, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Over the same period, sales of sports video games in the United States have risen by about 34 percent, to more than $1.2 billion last year from slightly less than $900 million in 2000, according to the NPD Group, a market research firm. Young men are also the core market for video games.
For the lords of sports, the attitude toward the video game revolution seems to vacillate between appreciation for the licensing revenue that video games can bring (the National Football League, for instance, reaped an estimated $300 million from a recent five-year licensing deal with Electronic Arts, the leading video game company) and concern about whether these games are forcing the cash cow of television onto an unwelcome diet.

Did George Lucas and Steven Spielberg Ruin the Movies? 16 straight weekends in which ticket sales have declined in comparison to last year's box office. As I write this, Variety is reporting the likelihood of a 17th weekly decline, given the somewhat soft opening for Batman Begins, although the losing streak could snap when the studios issue their actual box-office tallies tomorrow.
That can't be blamed on Spielberg or Lucas, even though both directors seem to have lost their way in recent years as innovating entertainers.

Advertising and media redraw the lines: Advertising has gotten dirtier - or, at least, less predictable - as marketers vie for the attention of fickle consumers who are constantly being courted by rival brands in ways that had not even been dreamed up a few years ago. The content of ads has changed, and so have the ways in which the messages are delivered.
As the technological revolution whipped through the media industries, leaving "digital convergence" and fragmented audiences in its wake, the advertising industry first went into denial. [...]
But now the advertising business is responding by attempting to revolutionize the way in which it works.
One of the more visible signs of this, to people in the industry at least, is the emphasis on "integrated" advertising. Like the Scruffs campaign, this approach employs different media - television and print, for instance, but also the Internet, mobile phones or DVD giveaways - under one overriding idea.

Hugo Silva, do lisbonlab, lançou o desafio para o meritório BlogReporters, "um blog no qual qualquer licenciado em comunicação social, jornalismo ou jornalista desempregado à procura de emprego poderá publicar gratuitamente as suas notícias, reportagens, entrevistas ou fotografias [negrito meu]. Um espaço no qual estes indivíduos possam demonstrar a sua qualidade e valor, que poderá ser reconhecido por um editor de um órgão de comunicação social tradicional, que lhes proporcione uma nova experiência profissional."
Não pude responder directamente ao Hugo (que não conheço pessoalmente mas disponibiliza no lisbonlab trabalhos seus e excelentes links externos) sobre o jornalismo participativo. As minhas desculpas.
No dia seguinte ao meu desafio, também ele - por via da presença no debate que refere no seu texto - propôs a criação deste tipo de blogue.
Distancio-me deste projecto - ao qual desejo sucesso - porque acho que não deve estar feito como bolsa de emprego para quem está na comunicação social. Acredito que pode e deve ser feito por quem deseja participar, conhecendo antecipadamente regras jornalísticas, mas não necessitando de ser jornalista, licenciado ou no desemprego.
Nos comentários ao meu texto, um Pedro que não eu escreve "Ok, não é bem a mesma coisa (não é sequer "bem a mesma coisa") mas e a Wikipédia? Pode não ser jornalismo, mas mostra que há vontade e voluntarismo para esta espécie de projectos colectivos".
Acredito que pode ser um complemento a um projecto colaborativo jornalístico mas saliento a necessidade de controlo editorial nos conteúdos para não se acabar com uma "circopédia".
Por isso referi ser necessário que as regras devem ser estabelecidas e discutidas "entre os interessados" (previamente, saliento agora) a aderir a um projecto destes.

Toyota's notions aren't universally welcomed. "We'll sell our mothers, but this doesn't work," says a mystified magazine executive who attended one presentation and, fearing a major advertiser's wrath, insisted on anonymity. "I can't sell you an article. I don't even know how to price it."

Editors can discuss what to do about declining circulations until the cows come home but strategies to boost sales won?t work if shops that sell newspapers can?t survive.
Digital Magazines Boost Sales of Print Editions: Cost is the biggest driver behind most digital magazine efforts, according to [Peter Meirs of Time Inc.]. The price of paper has increased by double-digit rates in recent years and postage costs have also gone up. In addition, an ever-accelerating news cycle makes the 48-hour delivery time for most magazines a growing competitive disadvantage.
Environmental concerns also play a part.

It spends £15m ($27m) a year on its news website and another £51m on others ranging from society and culture to science, nature and entertainment.

It is the success of the BBC's news website that most troubles newspapers. Its audience has increased from 1.6m unique weekly users in 2000 to 7.8m in 2005; and its content has a breadth and depth that newspapers struggle to match.

DESAFIO
Tenho assistido quase calado (mas não mudo) à emergência do jornalismo corporativo, baseado na Net e na cooperação por este meio, elogiado por muitos blogues em Portugal sem que os mesmos façam algo por mudar as coisas nos medias actuais ou tentem criar alternativas.
Os blogues querem ser força de contrapoder e consideram que o podem ser. Ainda bem. O contraditório na nossa sociedade tem sido pequeno ou nulo e, por isso, quantas mais vozes públicas, melhor.
Mas acho admirável a quantidade praticamente inexistente desse contrapoder (não, o Abrupto não conta, nem o Causa Nossa, nem semelhantes, porque repetem ou complexificam ou desmistificam o que escrevem nos media tradicionais. Estão desqualificados). E os outros?
Acho igualmente admirável - mas não de admirar - que as supostas vozes contraditórias e contrafactuais dos blogues não se juntem e prefiram ter blogues pessoais. São o retrato da nossa sociedade: comentam no café mas não se organizam na freguesia; discordam em casa mas deixam a câmara municipal ser tomada por forças políticas de que discordam. Porque lhes facilita a crítica fácil, claro.
Por isso, já não fico fascinado quando leio José Francisco Viegas (JFV) sobre Ah, gajas do meu país e concordo com o Manuel Pinto sobre a potencial nota de "disclosure" sobre a Rititi não efectuada por JFV.
Tal como concordo que também os "bloggers" deveriam disponibilizar esse tipo de nota sobre as suas ligações comerciais, familiares, políticas ou de quaisquer interesses nos seus textos (afinal de contas, é só JFV que ganha por levar Rititi ao seu programa?... Não há ligações de amizade e comerciais noutros blogues?)
Eis quando senão surge o AgoraVox - le journal citoyen - Des Mass Media aux Media des Masses. Eh pá! Isto está feito como exemplo para o portuga que gosta de partilhar e construir e opinar sobre a sua sociedade, em conjunto mas não só.
O modelo de recolha, tratamento e crítica num blogue é simples, como se vê neste Blog Process.
Mas quantos estão dispostos a alinhar na escrita colectiva sob critérios jornalísticos (a opinião não conta)?
Quem quer lançar um projecto não-lucrativo de jornalismo?
Vá lá, está aberto o processo, claro e sem nuances: quem está disposto a participar num projecto de jornalismo participativo, baseado na Net, sem pruridos ideológicos, atento aos "innuendos" que devem ser discutidos entre os interessados? Está aberta a porta: quem quer entrar?
Não acredito que os autores dos blogues queiram alinhar neste tipo de projecto, sejam de direita ou de esquerda, do norte ou do sul. Porque cada um defende a sua terra, o seu blogue, o seu território. Não é mau mas não é colectivo e não é público. E não venham depois defender o poder dos blogues.

The new kids on the blog: the rapid evolution of weblogs ? or blogs ? as movie marketing tools.
Costing almost nothing to maintain, the vast majority of blogs are mental clearinghouses for their authors, lo-fi Web confessionals or bully pulpits that vary from current events to niche pastimes to sex. Directors' blogs, by contrast, are slickly engineered to virally market their movies ? to stoke fan ardor.
Some observers say this approach allows studios to put a spin on moviemaking ? and, by playing to fan interest, head off potential controversies. Movie marketers say the sites allow blogger-directors to reach out to fans in an up-close-and-personal way.
Modellers measure 'word of mouth' for films: César Hidalgo, now a graduate student in physics at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, and his colleagues, decided to study the 'word of mouth' effect in the film world simply because reviews often have a huge impact on audience numbers and there are copious data on ticket sales.

Acabou (ou começou?) este The New Gatekeepers: To read the headlines, or the bloglines, one might get the sense that the bloggers have arrived on the scene to challenge the ?gatekeepers? of the big media. This is an essay in eight parts to examine this theme.
I will argue here that gatekeepers are inherently needed by the architecture of the blogosphere-- as it has evolved, since 2001, into a public consciousness. This architecture has been developed out of certain values, and those values are the ones espoused by those same thought leaders. That is not to say that there are other architecture, values, or leaders present; merely that this is the dominant form for the moment.

Deep Throat's Crimes: Mark Felt, Constitution-shredder: After Mark Felt outed himself as the legendary ?Deep Throat? in the Watergate case last week, there was a media rush to canonize the FBI?s former Number Two man, and politicians proposed he be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But in all this gush to make Felt a hero, there has been little or no mention of Felt?s prime role in COINTELPRO -- the most gigantic domestic political spying and disruption operation ever in American history, illegally conducted by the FBI.
Felt, in fact, was indicted and convicted in federal court in 1980 of directing nine illegal break-ins, aimed at domestic political targets, when he was boss of the COINTELPRO operation. Felt thus became the highest ranking FBI official to be convicted of criminal charges Hoover_nixon_1 since J. Edgar Hoover became head of the Bureau in 1924.

"You start it. You tell your friends. You tell some bloggers. And you see how it spreads," said Jonah Peretti.
Even though most of the sites are fake, or funny, or both, Peretti believes contagious media cannot be ignored.

Freelancers set for protest day on 7 June: Branches of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) have also organised social events and workshops to help freelancers address working issues.
Abuse of copyright and low pay are two of the biggest problems faced by freelancers.
Some national newspapers have not increased freelance pay for ten years, claims Tim Dawson, chair of the NUJ's freelance council.
"The idea that we should work for these ridiculous rates of pay is unacceptable. Something needs to be done to take hold of our working lives," he said.

Internet the new growth engine for newspapers: NYT publisher: The Internet could provide newspapers with a new engine for growth with greater reach and better speed rather than threaten the traditional print industry, says Arthur Sulzberger, chairman and publisher of the New York Times.
"Some mention the crisis of newspapers saying young readers no longer read print newspapers in the Internet era, but it's not that the Internet is eroding the newspaper market but that newspapers have gained a new medium to deliver information," Sulzberger said
Taking Back the Web: It?s part of a new aggressive push by publishers to re-establish themselves as authorities on Internet business. The perception is that this space has been defined by companies like Yahoo and Google. Now it?s time for magazine publishers to serve as the new thought leaders, particularly as the models of companies like Google are starting to resemble a standard ad sales model.

"I'm the Guy They Called Deep Throat": W. Mark Felt, 91 years old and formerly second-in-command at the F.B.I., says that he is the confidential Watergate source who assisted Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein?and helped bring down President Richard Nixon
In the Prelude to Publication, Intrigue Worthy of Deep Throat: On Wednesday, word came that the family of Mr. Felt, the ailing, 91-year-old former No. 2 official of the F.B.I., had sought payment in vain for his story after failing to reach a collaborative agreement with Mr. Woodward - not only from Vanity Fair, but also from People magazine and HarperCollins Books. They are apparently still determined to claim their share of the story that helped make Mr. Woodward a famous millionaire.
Deep Background: The Best-Kept Secret in Washington Nearly Stayed That Way
Vanity Fair's big scoop almost didn't happen. It started with a cold call two years ago from John D. O'Connor, a prominent lawyer in the San Francisco Bay area, to the magazine's editor, Graydon Carter. O'Connor, according to David Friend, an editor at the magazine, said he had a client "who is Deep Throat, and he wants to come out in the pages of Vanity Fair." [...]
The problem for Vanity Fair, Friend said, was that O'Connor wanted the magazine to pay Felt and Felt's family for the story -- a condition the magazine would not agree to.
O'Connor -- who had become acquainted with the Felt family through Felt's grandson, a Stanford classmate of O'Connor's daughter -- decided instead to publish Felt's account as a book. But after a year of trying to find a publisher, Friend said, O'Connor was back at Vanity Fair's doorstep.
Therein began a long and secretive process to render Felt's story into print. Although O'Connor was the lead writer, the magazine supplemented his work with research and fact-checking. It corroborated Felt's account by getting his daughter, his son, his daughter-in-law and a former companion to confirm that he had previously revealed his identity as Deep Throat.
About 15 Vanity Fair editors and staff people were eventually assigned to the story, which was code-named WIG (a corruption of "Watergate"). All of those involved signed confidentiality agreements that bound them not to reveal Felt's identity if the piece didn't meet publication standards.

There has been considerable speculation that Deep Throat never existed, that he must have been either a complete fiction or a composite of several people. My memory of those early months of Watergate is otherwise: that there was a specific individual, from the FBI, and Woodward had special access to him. [1992]
